TOALL WHOM IT- MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JAMES R. GILLETT, of Westfield, inthe county of Hampden, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Whips; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others's'killed in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying dra'wings, forming part of this specification.

Figure 1 represents a. detail side view of my improvedwhip.

Figure 2 is a. transverse section of the same. v

Similalr. letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new manner" oflprotecting the coreol' whips from moisture, that from consequent injury, and consists in the application, around thc'core, land, between the same and the outer covering, of

a. metallic lining, whereby the inoisture will be completely excluded from the core, and whereby the whip will consequently be made sound and strong. 'Tin or.other foil is the best material for that purpose. It is wrapped around the core, and then the covering is put on, the threads of which will be impressed in the surface of the foil, and will, consequently, hold the foil on the core, preventing it from shifting or otherwise becoming deranged on the'core.

The metal will thus at all times retain its proper position around the core, and no wntcr'will be able to reach the latter.

By'means of this metal lining the weight of the whip will be somewhat increased, and proportionately more at the thicker than at the thinner en'd; thereby the heft of the whip'is more-conveniently handled.

A, in the drawing, represents the core of a whip B is the metallic lining, and G the outer covering of the same.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- Interposing asme'tallic lining, B, between the core Aend covering G of u whip, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
